extracellular matrix proteins, is a common pathophysiologic companion of many different …

The vast majority of agricultural land undergoes abiotic stress that can significantly reduce
agricultural yields. Understanding the mechanisms of plant defenses against stresses and …

Global warming poses a serious threat to crops. Calcium‐dependent protein kinases
(CDPKs)/CPKs play vital roles in plant stress responses, but their exact roles in plant …

Exosomes are a pluripotent group of extracellular nanovesicles secreted by all cells that
